Classic Bolognese — or pasta with meat sauce — can take
hours to prepare. However, this updated version comes together in no time. Lean
ground beef is cooked with onion before being tossed with a simple puree of
tomatoes, red wine, and spices.

The black olives provide a salty kick, while chunks of
mozzarella make this pasta comforting and delicious. Although the recipe calls
for penne, feel free to use whatever thick pasta you have on hand.

Ground beef is so versatile and the basic ingredient of many
inexpensive meals. Here is a quick tip to save money buying ground beef.

I have been shocked at how expensive ground beef has been
lately. But I found a way around the higher prices! At my supermarket, ground
beef is $2.69 per pound. So a 4 pound pack is $10.76. BUT,when I go to the
freezer section, a 4 pound box of frozen hamburger patties is only $6.99 for
the box.

I buy the box of patties, and then at home I thaw out 4
patties. When they are thawed, you can cook them just like you would a pound of
ground beef. You can mix them together with herbs to make an easy casserole , you can break the meat up for hamburger helper, or just cook them as
burgers.

One of my all-time favourite comfort foods is enchiladas;
however they can be a lot of work.So to
quicken things up and keep the awesome flavour, I decided to make a big
pie/lasagne like creation to satisfy my craving and impatience.

3.Place 1 tortilla in deep-dish 9-inch pie plate
sprayed with cooking spray; top with layers of 1/3 each of the meat mixture and
cheese. Repeat all layers twice; cover with foil sprayed with cooking spray.

4.Bake 30 min. or until heated through, uncovering
for the last 5 min. Let stand 5 min. before cutting to serve.

Happy Cooking ☺
